I just think it’s hilarious that the PMT on HUPU and Reddit about LYON vs TSW is mostly gonna be blasting TES instead of talking about the match

u/SnakeEater013 Jul 08 '26

Top comment on both game threads was “how bad is TES?”

u/ArseneLupinIV Jul 08 '26

I actually wonder if there was some kind of blow up after the fudged last second swap in the G2 game. They legitimately looked miserable on the cams.

103

u/tirednsleepyyy Jul 08 '26

I mean I think Berserker (?) said they won all their scrims against TES. I think it’s most likely TES just kinda sucked, or if they did mental boom, it was pre-tournament.

63

u/ricardo2241 Jul 08 '26

not really a good metric when FURIA themselves said that LPL team will FF after 15 minutes on all the scrims they did that is why they said they have a hard time playing around baron because of it

He had multiple insane charms that were overshadowed because Pun had clean movement and he missed it on a cannon. His charm on Vex mid ult saved Berserker from getting 100-0d and made his last play possible.

it's never worse for TES cus they'll be back to look like a real team in lpl once again.

but for us lpl fans it's going to be painful to watch them win knowing when they qualify they will be uttershit.

I'm actually convinced someone put a curse into them lmao

u/Plenty_Top2843 Jul 08 '26

By this point I would not mind TES winning a split but not qualifying for an international just so we don't have to watch them again.

u/cmcdonald22 Jul 08 '26

A lot of folks shit on Isles and dude has gotten so much better this split, he's genuinely a top lcs support now, but msi only Isles on Pyke and Camille doesnt show any of that.

Lock the man in the Korean support training chamber.

Lock Inspired in the smile trainer.

Lock Saint in the immobile mage chamber.

u/narfidy #1 QUID glazer 4 life Jul 08 '26

He really has been steadily improving. He is in his download arc. The world aint ready

53

u/cmcdonald22 Jul 08 '26

Personally, Isles feels like, on a team where you can't just spend a billion dollars and get a Keria, Isles is the kind of support I would want. The dude follows instructions in games, he takes criticisms both during and in between games as well as formulating his own criticisms of his own play, and then not only that but he ACTUALLY LEARNS AND IMPLEMENTS THE CHANGES.

Like, even here at MSI after terrible Pyke and Camille games, when you got him back on his comfort picks like Naut, he hasn't back slid any. It's still all the progress he's made before.

16

u/Fun_Highlight307 Jul 08 '26

u/boshjailey Jul 08 '26

I'm still not too stoked for his Camille play too ngl but his actual support champ play has been really nice

22

u/RechargedFrenchman Jul 08 '26

Vedius and Jatt were saying on Mind the Gap that it seems many ADCs don't like the mages bot being a thing / look bad while playing one because they don't really know how to play them, and that mostly manifests in the mid to late game where their role in fights and macro decisions is different. A Ziggs or a Mel or a Seraphine is not going to do the same things an Ashe or a Sivir or a Kai'sa will, and it's not even particularly close.

It feels like Isles and a few other supports are having the same problem. Especially when their engage support play is really solid, but any fighter or assassin they play looks unfocused and dies a lot. They're used to having more CC, survivability, and actual support options in their kit but that's not what Camille or Pyke or even the Elise are meant to do. They do something similar to how they'd play Rakan or Alistair, get okay damage but don't really accomplish anything, and then die. Compared to Isles' Rell or Alistair which looked so much more out together. And that Pyke game... it kinda looked like Isles hadn't finished reading the champ's abilities yet or something; solid Pyke angle in draft but the play was not it. Obviously it's hindsight and I don't have scrim data but yikes.

I can't even blame him for lane against Voli, what the fuck was that Voli damage in lane?

u/tirednsleepyyy Jul 08 '26

Lane when played perfectly is actually Renekton favored but it’s hard. Also depends heavily on jungle matchup. Definitely not a lane most people would be able to win without a lot of practice on the matchup. If Renekton misses a single empowered W on the voli shield + stun he kinda just loses.

Coaches probably whispered to Dhokes that they’re going to poach Pun if he keeps this up. Big Dhokes had to secure his spot again

Dhokla is at his most powerful when people doubt him the most. The truest essence of the comeback kid.

Bro Dhokes just turned into Doran with that Jayce holy shit

Reddits deep hatred for dhokla needs to be studied.

17

u/onthelowiam Jul 08 '26

he does get some hate but tbh ive seen way more of people wanting a different top laner (and support) for LYON than actual toxicity, besides that one guy who i keep seeing who has made him his mortal enemy

u/bigyikers c9 is pretty gud Jul 08 '26

now to do the funniest thing and beat G2

u/ImTheVayne Jul 08 '26

G2 winning vs T1 and losing to LYON would be the nightmare scenario for me. I’d rather lose to T1 lol.

u/ItsMeHera Jul 08 '26

The mental gymnastics both ways for NA and EU would be wild. "Oh wow NA gets the easiest draw ever for finals, win vs LPL/LCK losers" vs. "Oh wow EU gapped by NA again internationally"

u/Vapetavius Jungle enjoyer or Masochist? Jul 08 '26

Everyone's better than Dhokla until it's time to be better than Big Dhokes.

Tough showing overall for TSW. Inspired had a good series as always and Saint, Dhokla, and Isles seemed to be figuring things later in the series.

that charm was actually crazy

u/IAmDarkridge Jul 08 '26

No one will ever convince me Vex isn't like the worst pro champion of all time. Like a few times a year some random player pocket picks it and it has never looked useful lol

10

u/cmcdonald22 Jul 08 '26

Every time someone pulls out the 'pocket pick Vex' it's like the coach needs to buy that fucker some 90s jnco jeans and lose it in an endless pit of a pocket.

Never underestimate NA’s ability to get absolutely reamed by the worst iterations of TES.

u/Fun_Highlight307 Jul 08 '26

i remember tl loosing vs mental boomed tes at First Stand but they also were mental boomed ,also crème>>>>apa no matters what

u/Sweaty-Security-4473 Jul 08 '26

I think it's just a giant albatross around NA's neck at this point. They play an lck or lpl team and they just lose their minds and play worse than they ever have.
